Aye, the world is better world o-day
And a great good mother this earth Of ours
Her white to-morrows are a white stairway,
To lead us up to the Star-lit flowers

We climb and we climb in the face OF the sun
Aye the world is a Drawer world to-day!

Will laugh at wrong, will turn away;
WIN whistle il down the wind with a song
win slay the wrong with his splendid ecorn;
The bravest hero that ever was born.

Strong Guarantees Of Peace.

FOR FIFTEEN YEARS THE OUTLOOK IN EUROPE HAS
NOT BEEN so MEASURING.
Harold Frederiche, London correspondent OF the
New York Times, cables to that paper: An English
cabinet minister said TO me two days ago: sit may
sound like paradox, but while It is true that
there are just now an unusual number Of veXa-
tious and apparently menacing points of difficulty
all over the continent, tt is also true that at no
time during the past fifteen years has the peace
OF Europe rested on sucn solid foundation as 1t
does to-day. Nothing short OF absolute lunacy at
Paris or ST. Petersburg can break this peace, OF
course this assurance was primarily based on the
results OF SgnOr CriSpS visit FREDERICKSBURG. 1t
Is now definitely announced that Bismarck has got
another hard and fast triple alliance TO take the
place of the ruptured drekaiserbund. Italy has
thrown her whole lot In with the Two German en-
pireS. Her troops, fleet. and purse are all at The
disposal OF the common defensive alliance. This
Is held to guarantee continued peace, on the
theory that neither France Russia dares
oppose such coalition by beginning war.
II they remain pacific nobody else Will
start the fighting. Having gained all by war
that this century has 10 offer, Germany now
desires nothing so much as peace. She not only
makes profound apologies forthe BrignOn calamity
anu very handsome monetary reparatiOn, but
her minister at Paris goes out his way to solicit
French cooperation in the task OF arranging
sort OF polite modus vivendi between the pOpula-
tons and the officials on the frontier. To her
ne1ghborS On the eastern side of her frontiers
Germany Is equally civil. II they think II wise
increase their tariff Determinations against Ger
man goods, German bankers may feel impelled TO
break Russia's credit On the bourses but that is
mere matter OF business procedure. Germany be-
friends Russia as much as any one else in the Bull
gaT1an affair and Is careful to give open cause
OF onenSe TO the car. II Russia and France break
the peace II Will be OF their own mad yoitiOn and
they will get surely terribly punished for their
mistake, since England, Turkey, and the bulk OF
the Balkan states would give moral, II not active,
aid To the triple alliance against them. Hence my
cabinet inforInant'S faith that are entering on
long period OF peace, II not respite from wars
